ONLINE BANKING ACCESS

Recently, Millbury National Bank has been notified that there has been another data breach involving Anthem Inc.

Anthem is the second largest U.S. health insurer. Unlike some of the previous data breaches that involved debit card numbers, the data elements involved represent permanent markers of an individual's identity. A stolen identity (SSN, date of birth, residence) can be abused in ways that have greater and longer-term consequences than a stolen debit card. If you have any electronic access to personal information, we also encourage you to create and use strong passwords. Do not use your date of birth, SSN or any other personal information that might be easily guessed by potential hackers. A good rule of thumb is to create passwords that are between 8-15 characters long and have a combination of letters, numbers and characters that are non-sequential.

As always, we are proactively monitoring your accounts to keep your personal information safe. However, we would encourage you to be diligent in verifying any activity on your accounts and please notify Evan Dufault immediately at 508-865-9521 ext. 210 or via e-mail at edufault@mnbonline.com if you notice anything suspicious. Thank you!
